A thin flexible envelope that surrounds the cell; pores control what goes in and out?
A
endoplasmic reticulum
B
nuclear membrane
C
cell membrane
D
centrioles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules-including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water-into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear pores, small channels that span the nuclear envelope, let substances enter and exit the nucleus. Each pore is lined by a set of proteins, called the nuclear pore complex, that control what molecules can go in or out.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear pore complexes allow the transport of molecules across the nuclear envelope. This transport includes RNA and ribosomal proteins moving from nucleus to the cytoplasm and proteins (such as DNA polymerase and lamins), carbohydrates, signaling molecules and lipids moving into the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell. Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell.
